Christopher Dawson We were lucky enough to show up during a $10 plate special. Wife and I got ribs with two sides and a drink, and they were very generous with the sides and the meat, which was delicious. Staff was very friendly. Would come again.

Daniel Vasquez Great find on our way to Panama City. Good food and staff! Love the vibes. Good music!

Katherine Kite We stopped here for a quick bite before golfing, we were close to the cut off of being able to eat but the waitress took great care of us and did not rush us. I had the chicken wrap and it was good. We will definitely be back, thank you for having us!

Velma Whitehead My 1st experience with Korean dishes!! I purchased the Beef bulgogi lunch special and 2 egg rolls. I thoroughly enjoyed the meal and those crispy egg rolls were awesome. I am going back today for another lunch special of the bulgogi and a spare rib platter. Front staff was warm friendly and pleasant. Food was fresh and came out in a satisfactory wait time.

Yvonne Rea-Cork We just finished our new years meal here and it was amazing. My husband enjoyed the salmon; and I tried the halibut mosaic, which was beautiful and delicious. Our server, Chris was helpful with his recommendations, and was very conscientious and timely about checking in to see if we needed anything. Our desserts were fantastic. I ordered the cheesecake and my husband ordered the new years dessert. After sharing several bites of each, we are carrying some home to enjoy tomorrow. Salt Cellar is a unique and delightful dining experience.

T.J. Meeks This Is a nice restaurant where you order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. That have pizza and Italian style food. With a nice bar in the middle of the restaurant. Also they have about 30 draft beers you can sample and drink with a wristband

Rielle AW Visiting in town and the Wicked Hen was an amazing setting- top tier service and phenomenal experience. Tim, Rebecca and Abby were awesome. My mom and I couldn’t rave enough about our experience. Whenever we come to Columbus, we will make it a point to visit The Wicked Hen! Make sure to try Tim’s Lemonade- it’s a perfect blend of sweet with the infused mangoes and mandarin oranges and a hint of spice with the jalapeño.

vickey ball Went for the crawfish and shrimp boil and the Gator bites!! Sooooo good!! We were greeted by a friendly man when we walked in and immediately felt welcome!! 10 out of 10 recommend!!

heather m First time dining in, the staff were incredibly helpful and kind. They took time to explain each item and suggest pairings when i was unsure. The food was really good and super affordable. The cucumber mint juice was refreshing. This was the perfect lunch stop!! Thank you!!

Ydha Soto I apologize for the half eaten food but we were hungry. The food was flavorful, and delicious. The music was low enough to enjoy and converse. The horchata was very yum!

Carmen von Stocki-Orozco I always look forward to my visits to My Boulánge — it’s hands down my favorite cafe in Columbus, GA! Every time I come here, I’m reminded of the charming little spots I’ve loved in Europe. It has that perfect cozy vibe, and the quality of the coffee and pastries never disappoints. On my most recent visit, I treated myself to their Provence Latte, and it did not disappoint. The blend of white mocha and lavender was perfectly balanced—sweet but not overpowering, with a lovely floral note that made each sip feel like a special treat. I also had the almond croissant (I had them warm it up for me), and it was, as usual, incredible. Golden, flaky on the outside, and filled with the richest almond cream. It’s the perfect balance of sweet and creamy, with that melt-in-your-mouth texture that makes you want to savor every bite. My daughter is absolutely obsessed with the delicious chocolate croissant and the raspberry macaron! Although she opted for water to drink this time she has also enjoyed the kids hot chocolate. Every time I come to this cafe, I’m reminded why it’s my favorite—it’s like taking a little coffee break in Europe without leaving town. Highly recommend it to anyone who loves a good coffee and pastry in a cozy, welcoming atmosphere!

Michelle P Hudson’s on Main is quickly becoming one of my favorite restaurants! I went for Friday brunch and it wasn’t busy, service was quick and friendly. I tried the limited time Strawberry Crunch Chicken & Waffles and it was hands down the BEST thing I’ve ever tasted. I asked Them for recommendations and they said this is a big hit and I see why. The waffle was fluffy and perfect, topped with strawberry crunch and strawberry whipped cream, and the chicken was super crisp and full of flavor. I also had the Sunrise cocktail, which was refreshing and delicious. The whole experience was cozy, relaxed, and absolutely worth recommending. Highly recommend this little gem for brunch!

Christina Marsman Awesome food, amazingly friendly staff, and such a fun vibe! From the moment we walked in, the service was welcoming and upbeat. The food came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor — everything we ordered was delicious. The atmosphere was energetic without being overwhelming, making it a great spot to relax, watch a game, and enjoy a great meal. We will definitely be back!

Christopher Swope Fantastic location! Discovered it through thr local news, and decided to give it a try. One of my favorite locations in the area! Food is amazing, I got the Mardi Gras Pasta, which came out with much more meat than I expected, in a good way! Flavors and seasonings were fantastic! Their beignets are perfect too! Just dont inhale while youre eating them unless you wanna be coughing powdered sugar lol Ms Kelly is a phenomenal server! Very nice, homely attitude, and was more than willing to work with us on anything! Highly recommend this place!
